Magic Lamp “I’ll race you to park!” I said. “Oh, yeah? Well, you will have to eat my dust because I am going to be there first!” Alisha, my best friend, screamed. I saw Alisha fly past me. I started pedaling as hard as I could. I zoomed past Alisha. “I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m – AHHHHHHH!” I felt my bike slip from under me. Then I landed. In the mud. “Angel! Come look!” I got out of the mud and looked up. Alisha was holding something gleaming. It was a brass lamp. I took it. Hmm, I wonder. I rubbed the lamp and …nothing. Oh, well. I was just about to drop it in my bike pocket when it started misting. Fog, heavy, covered my eyes and I couldn’t see. “Alisha?” “Yeah?” “Can you see?” “No.” Then the smoke cleared and someone tapped me. It was a genie! “Hello, my name’s Mimi. I assume you’re my master?” “M-Master? Why, yes you were correct.” “So, what’s you’re first wish?” “Wish?” “Yeah. Listen, kid you’re new to this aren’t you?” I shook my head yes. “Ok, then let’s go through the basics. You get three wishes, and you can wish for anything but more wishes. What’s you’re first wish?” “I wish I had a thousand lamps just like yours.” There was a loud snapping sound and then I was surrounded by lamps.
Alisha picked one up and rubbed. A note popped out. It said “Nice try.” Then another lamp quivered. Out popped Mimi. “Nice try, squirt. What’s next?” I thought and thought about it. Then Alisha made a suggestion. “What if you were rich?” “That would be nice. I wish I was rich.” Suddenly, I was in the middle of a street I that I didn’t know. A cry arose. “There she is! Let’s get her!” “Yeah! Let’s get the snob!” A mob of people ran at me. I started running, and then I ducked behind a dumpster. The dumpster shook. Mimi appeared. “Why are they after me?” “Probably because you’re rich, and they think you’re a snob.” “Great.” “So, what’s your third wish?” I thought and thought. Finally, I came to a decision. “I wish you were locked in your lamp forever and that everything was back to normal.” “I hate you.” Mimi said, and she was pulled into her lamp. She has stayed in there ever since, and I have never, ever complained about my life again.
